This is our first sale into this booming market. Once this first boat has been delivered to Dubai in July, we feel certain that we will be able to build a nice market for ourselves in this region.

A disconnect between household income levels and for-sale pricing in the valley's housing market has increased rental demands.

Criminals are opportunists. If you've got a booming market, they're going to get away with more fraud.

I've still got the boat, but if I'm in Nashville, I'm usually racking up hotel bills. We'll have 20 to 21-day runs on the road, and I'll just be in town for a day or two, ... But that's what it's about for me. I'm playing music because I love it. The guys on the road with me, they love the music.

The sale was a shot in the arm for the impressionist market.

It was a good crowd ? plenty of serious buyers with homes in the region. We had visits from a number of leads first generated at the Miami show, and expect to be closing on a good percentage of those in the weeks ahead.
